Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 63

  Chapter 63 Night Watch

After sending Zhang Jialiang away, Jian Heng lay back and returned to his room. Now that the house has been repaired, the original traces of the old man are almost gone. The house is still leaking, and there are still a few that can be used, not to mention electrical appliances, even some furniture has mold spots, and even some small mushrooms have grown. If this thing is not replaced, it will be fine!

  It is almost equivalent to a half-new house with brand new furniture. Jian Heng lay in his original room but couldn't sleep because it was no longer the original feeling.

   Lying on the bed and turning over a few times, Jian Heng felt that the solid wood smell of the new furniture was a bit unpleasant, so he put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Sitting under the porch, Jian Heng looked around. Except for the starlight in the night sky, there was almost no light source. Don't look at the pastures all around, but each of them is thousands of acres. The number of acres, each ranch is tens of thousands of acres, and the terrain in the Rocky Mountains is undulating, where can you see the lights of other houses.

   Sitting on the chair, Jian Heng felt a little uncomfortable again. The chair was new and smelled of paint, and for some reason, it was not as comfortable as sitting on the old broken sofa.

   After moving a few times, Jian Heng suppressed the discomfort in his head, and released the rabbit from the space first.

   "Two Tigers." Just as he was about to say something to the rabbit, he saw that this creature was half-riding on the lion's body, biting the lion's neck with its three-petal mouth.

   While Jian Heng was looking at the rabbit, Erhu was also looking at Jian Heng. Seeing the owner's face change, he immediately let go of the little white lion, gave Jian Heng a rear view, and pretended to sniff the wooden pillar next to him.

"Don't make up its mind, if you dare to eat the pillars, be careful I'll peel your skin!" Jian Heng immediately reminded Erhu that the pillars are supporting the porch, if you let this guy gnaw on them, you may not be sure tomorrow When Jian Heng woke up in the morning, he would find that he was sleeping on the grass in the open air, and the whole wooden house had been eaten up by two tigers.

"Go ahead and see what you can do! What kind of lion are you, the scum of lions!" Jian Heng was about to train the two tigers, when he saw the white lion approaching his legs, the lion, which couldn't even beat the rabbit, actually pulled He pulled the corners of his trousers very hard, and made a whining sound of pride as he pulled it, as if he had won a battle.

Stretching his legs, he gently picked up the little lion two rolls. When the little thing saw that Jian Heng was playing with him, he rushed over energetically, hugged Jian Heng's legs, tilted his head and opened the little lion. The mouth began to bite Jian Heng's knee. While biting, she opened her two round eyes and stared at Jian Heng, the master, so cute that she could go to heaven!

  At this time, the lion cub is about a circle or two bigger than a cat. It is chubby, with big ears and big eyes. When it stares at people, it can melt people's hearts.

  The lion cub's bite is a playful bite, without any strength. But no strength means no strength, despite such a small thing, there is a lot of saliva, and Jian Heng's knees are wet in a short while.

   "Okay, okay, that's all you can do!" Jian Heng took the skin on the back of the lion cub's neck and lifted it aside.

  Remembering that there was another big guy in the space, Jian Heng let the bison out again to let the air in while there was no one around.

When we were in New York, Jian Heng really wanted to let it out for some ventilation, but unfortunately, the bison weighed a ton, so how could Jian Heng's house hold it? It was the first time in more than a month that I was out of space.

  The buffalo that had left the space raised its head to look around, and then looked at Jian Heng. The eyes of the two big bulls were actually full of confusion.

"Okay, this will be our home from now on. I'll buy some cows in two days. Although you all look different, you are all cows. From now on, you can hang out with them, watch them for me, and eat grass well. Grow fat well, the burden of our men's life is actually on your body!" After speaking, Jian Heng stood up, stretched out his hand and bent down to pat the bridge of Niubi's nose.

The bison was a little confused by what Jian Heng said, but as a cow, although it is a little miraculous, it is not miraculous enough to think about the life of a cow. For it, it is where the owner tells it to be, so the first Turning around, he opened his mouth and put a pinch of grass into his mouth, and began to enjoy the delicious meal slowly.

  The bad-tempered African bison now looks good-natured, just like an oversized version of the Chinese buffalo.

  Jian Heng pointed at the bison and said to the two tigers and the white lion: "I see no one, see no one! What kind of thing is called the top way! You two study hard, don't get together and keep fighting!"

After speaking, I saw a small shrub growing beside the porch frame. This thing is quite common, and it doesn't take too much water or land. I used to let it go when I couldn't manage it, but now that the two tigers are in hand, Jane Heng decided to clear these things from his pasture.

  Walking around the house, I found no annoying weeds, only a small bush, so Jian Heng lifted his feet and took two steps to pick up the bush: "Two tigers, two tigers!"

  As soon as Erhu heard the master calling him, he took a look at his big toy white lion, and then reluctantly jumped to Jian Heng's feet.

   "Eat this!" Jian Heng threw the bush in front of Erhu.

It's not good for Erhu to bully people, but it's really good to eat. The shrubs with the thickness of the little finger are chewed in its mouth, and it's like eating potato chips. The tall shrubs were gnawed by the two tigers, leaving only leaves.

  Looking at the three things he released, Jian Heng started scratching his head again, and couldn't stop muttering: "What the **** are the remaining animals?"

After several trips to South Africa, Jian Heng tried everything he saw, including hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, and even hippos, but none of them responded, let alone white lions and buffaloes. A transparent statue was left in the space, and there was no one that had evolved such a strange ability like a rabbit. In the end, Jian Heng had to throw these things back.

   This incident made Jian Heng scratch his head!

  The most annoying thing is that now I traced a picture of the text on the ancient book in my hand and asked someone to read it. Even a university professor had to rely on guesswork to read it. Jian Heng, who did not graduate from high school, was dumbfounded. Because what he thinks of Xiaozhuan is not the case at all.

  Jian Heng thinks how can a foreign devil and a British person understand this thing, if he is not as good as a domestic expert? In fact, what he didn't know was that there are many authoritative foreigners who study Chinese culture. If nothing else, just look at how many good Chinese things are in the British museums. The Chinese historical materials and ancient books in hand are really no worse than those in China, and they are even richer.

  The foreigner Jian Heng despises for his messy translation is actually a real China hand. Let's put it this way, whether it's Chinese or Chinese culture, he can surpass domestic experts and understand Chinese culture better than ordinary university professors.

   Think about it, if a person who is particularly curious and persistent gets space, what will be the result?

Just this British man wasting himself on one book, learning Chinese since he was in his twenties, and then trying to figure out what is written in this book all his life, after decades of poverty, he abandoned his family , When I can finally understand and understand, it is time to run out of oil and light.

Think about it, if an old man's decades-long dream is to be realized, he will not be happy. He originally planned to tell his grandson, but who knows that people in their nineties will be so happy that they will die of joy. It is suitable for Jian Heng.

   Looking at Jian Heng again, he didn't struggle at all. He knew that this book was the manual for the secret realm, but he didn't take it too seriously! For Jian Heng, if he doesn't understand, let it go, take your time!

   That is to say, the two closest masters of the secret realm, one is a top student among top students, and the other is a scumbag who doesn't know much about it! But as far as this matter is concerned, it is better for Jian Heng, a scumbag, to live more comfortably.

  Jian Heng doesn't realize that he is a scumbag at the moment. As far as he is concerned, he thinks that he only needs to study hard, and getting into Peking University is like playing for fun. As for the truth? Don't mention it.

  Seeing that the two tigers finished gnawing on the shrubs, they got into the knee-high grass and continued to look for shrubs to eat, so Jian Heng also walked to the side of the pasture.

   "Oh, why did I forget this thing!" Jian Heng remembered that there was still a bad South African horse in his space.

  So he got the horse out, and after getting on the horse's back, he didn't urge the horse to run, so he watched the horse freely and inspected his own pasture.

   Along the fence of his own ranch, Jian Heng swayed slowly, watching as he walked, and whenever he found any repairs, he would stop and touch it. I have to say that Zhang Jialiang's work is really meticulous, but the damaged parts have been repaired. Although it is simple to wrap a few times with wire, you can still see whether you are careful or careless. Under such economic conditions It's rare to be able to do so well.

   "Aw! Aw!"

   Just as Jian Heng was checking the fence, a wolf howled from afar.

As soon as Jian Heng heard it, he knew it was the voice of a North American wolf. For a while, the North American wolf population in the United States and Canada had been extinct, but the Americans and Canada together thought that this was not possible, so they brought back wolves. After several years of reproduction, now it is necessary to hunt and kill wolves in a planned way, because the number of wolves is too large, which is a great threat to the pasture.

   It is common for this thing to invade the ranch to hunt cattle and sheep, and it has gradually become the second scourge in the hearts of ranchers. Of course, the position of the No. 1 scourge has been stable for decades, and everyone always thinks it is the American bureaucracy.

Hearing howling wolves, Jian Heng remembered that he had to get a few dogs. It would be impossible to have no dogs in the ranch, and it would become the back garden of the wolves. One is to be smart enough to know who to bite and who not to bite. Thinking of this, Jian Heng began to ponder again.
